Project
This article is written in the context of the creators discussing the project itself, and how it will be implemented.
Presentation
For now, the project is contained by a wiki. Here are my concerns:
- BDH exists on multiple levels:
- A project, undertaken by a group
- A world, as seen through the lens of literary artists creating it
- A campaign setting for roleplaying games
- A world, as seen by characters living within it
Each of these aspects demands a different form of presentation. Ideally, all could be presented at the same time. Imagine:
- All information exists in one central location: the wiki
- The wiki can be set to one of several modes, matching the aspects above
- At various points in the presentation, links to other salient points in other aspects will be provided
As an adjunct or alternate to the above:
- I would like to have a social/meta aspect to the site, wherein:
- Users can comment on every page.
- They can tie their comments to specific sections of the presentation.
- Users themselves might be:
- Content creators
- Audience members
- Characters in the universe
- The discussions:
- Are threaded to arbitrary depth
- Can be filtered, searched, etc
- The posts:
- Can be styled per user
- Can be styles per category of user
This of course demands some technological upgrades to the presentation layer, hopefully forthcoming in version 2 of Narrwiki, codename "Exodus".
